Ioffe was invited on the show to, in her words, "clarify the issue at hand." When the fight made that impossible, O'Donnell's source went direct, taking advantage of a much more flexible medium (text) to extend her thoughts and response. But as Winer notes, it is hardly the only way in which to convey that value. It happened to travel agents, realtors, classified ads, all kinds of shopping, and it has happened to news too.Īn MSNBC appearance has enormous value in terms of communicating an idea. It's the thing the Internet does to all intermediaries, it disses them. ![]() In 1994 we didn't know what the new journalism would look like, and we still don't, but we knew some essential elements, perhaps the essential element - that sources go direct. In 2009, web and media savant Dave Winer wrote a post titled, "The reboot of journalism." Bolded emphasis added below.

The question of the extent to which Putin controlled Snowden's fate in Russia is interesting. What bothers me is that, look: your producers take the time to find experts to come on the show, answer your questions, and, hopefully, clarify the issue at hand.
